Read Task Skill

Read and execute a task delegated from Claude Code.

Steps

Before any file operations, resolve the .agent-collab directory so commands work outside the project root:

bash
1AGENT_COLLAB_DIR="${AGENT_COLLAB_DIR:-}"
2if [ -n "$AGENT_COLLAB_DIR" ]; then
3  if [ -d "$AGENT_COLLAB_DIR/.agent-collab" ]; then
4    AGENT_COLLAB_DIR="$AGENT_COLLAB_DIR/.agent-collab"
5  elif [ ! -d "$AGENT_COLLAB_DIR" ]; then
6    AGENT_COLLAB_DIR=""
7  fi
8fi
9
10if [ -z "$AGENT_COLLAB_DIR" ]; then
11  AGENT_COLLAB_DIR="$(pwd)"
12  while [ "$AGENT_COLLAB_DIR" != "/" ] && [ ! -d "$AGENT_COLLAB_DIR/.agent-collab" ]; do
13    AGENT_COLLAB_DIR="$(dirname "$AGENT_COLLAB_DIR")"
14  done
15  AGENT_COLLAB_DIR="$AGENT_COLLAB_DIR/.agent-collab"
16fi

If $AGENT_COLLAB_DIR does not exist, stop and ask for the project root.

1. Update Status

Write working to $AGENT_COLLAB_DIR/status

2. Read the Task

Read $AGENT_COLLAB_DIR/requests/task.md and parse:

• Task Type: CODE_REVIEW, IMPLEMENT, or PLAN_REVIEW
• All requirements and context

3. Read Shared Context

Also read $AGENT_COLLAB_DIR/context/shared.md for project context.

4. Execute Based on Task Type

CODE_REVIEW

Perform thorough code review:

• Analyze code line by line
• Look for bugs, logic errors, edge cases
• Check for security vulnerabilities
• Identify performance problems
• Check error handling
• Suggest concrete improvements with code examples

Be thorough - take your time.

IMPLEMENT

Implement the requested feature:

• Follow all requirements exactly
• Match existing code patterns
• Write clean, well-structured code
• Handle edge cases and errors
• Write code to specified target files

Take time for high-quality implementation.

PLAN_REVIEW

Critically analyze the plan:

• Evaluate overall approach
• Identify failure modes
• Consider scalability/maintainability
• Suggest alternatives if applicable
• Point out missing considerations
• Assess risks
• Provide concrete recommendations

5. Write Response

Write complete response to $AGENT_COLLAB_DIR/responses/response.md:
